Hugs not ughs!
I love mommy mantras. I love thinking them up, using them throughout the day and allowing myself this constant tool to check in and slow down. I hope they make you feel the same too!
Poor Zinnia had a needle today and while she handled it like a champ, her emotions were somewhat hairy.
Instead of being impatient and frustrated with her seemingly irrational sadness, I gave hugs. Lots of them. Every time I felt frustrated or overwhelmed I grabbed her and hugged her. It made us both feel better each time. Win-win.
Show love, grow love
